Google Gets Dedicated Real-time Search Page

Google forayed into real-time search by announcing a deal with Twitter last year. However, real-time search results in Google went much ahead than just displaying results from Twitter and included web results too.

The difference between the regular search page and real-time page is that you will see relevant results which are freshly indexed on Google about the keywords you are searching for.

The new real-time search page includes several new enhancements including:

Geographically refining results based on your location

Conversations view to follow discussions in real-time, which will include re-tweets and replies. This will allow you to view a real-time discussion easily

An update to Google Alerts to stay informed about a topic of your choosing

The new real-time dedicated page can be found at http://www.google.com/realtime, however, you might see a 404 error since Google is slowly rolling out this new feature to users. What do you think of the new real-time search page? Do let us know. To get started watch a video of how to use Real-time search in Google in the embedded video below.

Looks pretty neat, but can be pretty overwhelming for a new user. What do you think?
